Performance doesn’t come cheap, but if you need powerful performance while on the go, or split your work between home and an office, the HP ZBook Power G9 makes a solid choice. While HP claims up to 18 hours of battery life, you will get mixed results here depending on what you are using the laptop for while not plugged in. Whether it was photo editing, Photoshop graphics creation, or video editing in Premiere, I had no issues in performance. Our almost-maxed-out review unit with its i7-12800H vPro processor, NVIDIA RTX™ A2000 Graphics with 8 GB GDDR6 RAM, 2TB NVMe SSD, and 32GB of RAM handled every task and program that we threw at it handily. Highly configurable, there are plenty of options available based on your needs and your budget. The HP ZBook Power G9 is a solidly constructed laptop for hybrid work and has the performance specifications to match. If your work requires more processor and graphics-intensive processing, any old laptop won’t do.
